The notable Alumni of the Royal Military College and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst are very numerous. In particular, there are so many generals and Victoria Cross holders from the former Royal Military College, Sandhurst, that a full list would be immense. The present-day Royal Military Academy Sandhurst denies that Idi Amin and Muammar Gaddafi attended the RMAS. This list contains a number of students who did not complete the course. Some of the foreign royalty were not, for example, commissioned into the British Army.
The Sandhurst Foundation acts as a community for the alumni of the Royal Military Academy.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.Royalty
